temperature necessary to kill dust mites. Only the allergen cycle has been designed to meet the requirements
of NSF Protocol P351 for Allergen Reduction Performance effectiveness.
† Sanitize
Cycles certied by NSF International, an independent, third party testing and certication organization are those with
the sanitize temperature selection available. The certication veried that these cycles reduce 99.9% of bacteria typically
found on clothing, bedding, and towels. There is no carryover of bacteria between loads after the cycle is complete.
